General Motors has dramatically shrunk its lineup through bankruptcy proceedings, and one of the brands that GM is retaining as a core component is Cadillac. The luxury brand has lost plenty of ground to Japanese and German competitors in recent years, but it remains important to General Motors.
Among Connecticut Cadillac dealers, one of the most exciting models in the Caddy lineup is the CTS-V. Powered by a 556 horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine, the CTS-V is complete with massive Brembo brakes, 19-inch wheels, and a range of other performance tweaks. But with only 12 miles per gallon, Cleveland Chevrolet dealers say the Cadillac CTS-V may seem like an odd vehicle to hold on to when the brand is struggling - especially considering its price tag of over $60,000.
The Cadillac CTS-V is limited to about 1,000 vehicles. Being such as low-volume model, Pittsburgh Cadillac Loans admits the survival of the CTS-V may be in question . With the exit of Bob Lutz, perhaps no one at GM is left to defend such a frivolous model for the financially strapped automaker.
Where the Cadillac CTS-V truly shines is in its ability to deliver the performance of a Chevrolet Corvette, while providing an upscale interior environment and the flexibility of four full-size doors. With a 0-60 mph speed of only 4.3 seconds, Avon Auto Repair suggests that the Cadillac CTS-V packs plenty of performance for the price. Although there is plenty of German competition in this class, the CTS-V is a standalone among American luxury vehicles.
